Aid initiative #Not only

Shortly after the outbreak of the Corona crisis in March 2020, churches and local (aid) organizations, including the Protestant Church in the Netherlands and Kerk in Actie, joined forces in the Nietalleen.nl platform. This platform connects clients from all over the country to local aid initiatives in their area.

People who have a practical request for help or would like to have contact and a listening ear can call the national number 0800-1322. They are then linked to the local coordinators. In Krimpen aan den IJssel you can also mail to: nietalleenkrimpen@outlook.com . More and more people are affected by the consequences of the corona crisis, but find it difficult to ask for help. We live in a time when we want to be able to do everything ourselves and do not quickly ask for help. It may seem like a sign of weakness, but it is courageous if you dare to depend on others and admit that you need help. And know that the helpers do this with love!

In the dark months of the year, we want to help lower the threshold to ask for help and bring this initiative back to the spotlight. The online Christmas night service of the ArkRank / IJsseldijkkerk is dedicated to the theme: Not Alone. After Christmas we hang up promotional posters and we want to hand out cards. And we need your help with that! If you attend a service or other activity at the church, you can bring some promotional cards to pass on to others. We also want to try to pass these tickets through the bus at the senior apartments in Krimpen. If you would like to help with that, please contact us. And if you want to offer help, we would also like to hear that!

Decade Dick: Almost all participants passed the traffic exam

Freek Bredius was a guest in Decennium Dick on behalf of Safe Traffic Netherlands department Krimpen aan den IJssel. He was able to tell us that 421 children participated in the practical traffic exam today. All but five children passed. Congratulations to all! The children who did not make it turned out to have cycled on the route with their hands free. The route started and ended at the Tuyter. Mayor Martijn Vroom was present to officially start the first class. 7.3 Kilometers was cycled and the children of the groups 7 and 8 passed all kinds of difficult intersections and traffic situations in Krimpen aan den IJssel. What was very annoying and difficult was that there have been young people who removed or turned around signs from the route. In addition, some plates are irreparably damaged. It was the first time that this happened on the day of the traffic test. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file . Also in this edition of Decennium Dick a...

Boy (17) hits girl over bitterballen

The police in Hollands Kroon arrested a 17-year-old resident of Den Helder on Friday evening on suspicion of assault. Just before that, he had punched a girl in the face on the Lutjestrand, because she refused to share a portion of bitterballen with him. She reported the boy to police in the area. When he was arrested, he was searched and two telephones were found, which were probably stolen that same day, from bathers while swimming. The police are investigating the origin of the phones. The girl did not need immediate medical attention. She has been offered victim assistance. The suspect was taken to the police station and was questioned on Saturday. Boy, boy, and that for a portion of bitterballen. In this Happy Hour we have two tasty Jukebox Giants, namely . The "Do your Hair with a Guitar is .

IJsseldijk damaged by water pipe rupture

The IJsseldijk in Krimpen aan den IJssel was damaged by a burst water pipe on Tuesday morning, 25 August. A truck hit a fire hydrant and the impact broke the water pipe under the dike. The water from the pipeline had so much power that some of the clay was washed away from the dike. It also poured into a neighboring house. The water supply was cut off by Oasen around 11:15 am. During the outflow of the water, a hundred households are without water, according to Oasen. It may take until the afternoon before the problems are resolved. The repair of the dike will take some time, reports the Schieland Krimpenerwaard Water Board. The water board was still looking for a contractor who could reinforce the dike with clay. The dike is expected to remain closed until Wednesday morning. According to a spokesperson for the water board, the damage to the dike is not a threat to the surrounding area. It is an inner dike.
